756 Affection (5)

Shen Miao did not go back.

The white tiger on the ground seemed to have sensed that Shen Miao did not have any ill intentions. Moreover, its master did not show any hostility. Gradually, it let down its guard and leaned against Shen Miao’s feet, snoring.

Shen Miao looked at the young man on the tree quietly.

After a while, she asked, “Xie Jingxing, do you want to destroy Ming Qi?”

The air fell silent in an instant.

Under the dim light, the young man’s expression was hidden by the branches. Even if one could see it, they could not see his expression clearly because of the mask. One could only see a corner of his gorgeous purple robe hanging down. The pattern embroidered with golden threads shone brightly under the light. The threads intertwined, vaguely outlining the pattern of an auspicious beast.

It seemed to be a dragon.

The silence was alarming. He did not answer.

The white tiger whimpered softly and turned to run into the grass.

Shen Miao leaned against the tree and said indifferently, “If you just want to destroy Ming Qi in the end, you have to abandon some people as you walk down that path. Some people are good, but they’re destined to not be walking on the same path as you.”

Xie Jingxing chuckled and said, “Are you trying to comfort me?”

“No, I’m comforting myself,” Shen Miao replied.

She could understand Xie Jingxing.. Xie Jingxing was a man, and he was decisive. She believed that after tonight, he would still be the Prince Rui. Nothing could stop him. He was like a lion, an extremely powerful existence in itself. It was just that she happened to bump into him when he was alone.

“Is anything troubling you too?” Xie Jingxing teased. His tone was still cynical, but Shen Miao knew that there was definitely no smile in his eyes at this moment.

Some emotions couldn’t be hidden, which was why he went to the tree where no one could see him and was unwilling to even take off his mask lest people saw his expression.

“I have more troubling things than you can imagine.” Shen Miao smiled sadly and said, “At least Princess Rong Xin is still alive. Shouldn’t the most painful thing in the world be that the person who wants to protect is no longer around?”

Just like her Wanyu and Fu Ming. She could save many people, but she could not save these two. In this life, she would never be able to save them. No matter if she succeeded in taking revenge in the future or not, she would never have a chance to make up for this regret.

Even seeing them in her dream was an extravagant hope.

“You know that this day will come sooner or later, so there’s no need to think too much. You’ve already done your best. Leave the rest to fate.” Shen Miao said, “No one needs to be with anyone for the rest of their lives.”

“Fu Xiuyi and I are not on the same side. The crown prince is not on the same side as me. Not Huangfu Hao, not Feng Zixian, not Luo Ling, and not Pei Lang.”

Fu Xiuyi and the crown prince were members of the royal family, so they were naturally Shen Miao’s enemies. Feng Zixian grew up without suffering and was naive, so he couldn’t be compatible with her. Luo Ling was an upright person, so how could he accept the fact that she was scheming? As for Pei Lang, Shen Miao couldn’t trust him wholeheartedly because of what he did in her previous life.
